Came in a large crate. The cab to curb service was essential as this crate was extremely heavy. I was expecting an assembled product and what I got was far from it. The hardest part is putting the wheel carriage on to the engine / chipper module. I solved this problem by leaning it to one side, inserting a two by four, leaning to the other side, putting another one, leaning sideways, another one, leaning to the other side, another one, and so on until I had built a crib high enough to bolt the wheel carriage in.

After that it was pretty straight forward. Make sure you have the safety shut off switch adjusted right before you start cranking. There is a brass pull that resets the mechanism and completes the circuit once the shut off switch has been activated. This machine goes thru stout branches quite quickly. Watch out for bigger pieces getting shot back out every once in a while. Work from the side of the machine and fence off the area directly behind the the hopper for safety.

"Ordering process easy and straightforward. Product was back ordered and I didn't find this out until after my order was processed."

Good machine for the money. I did not like that the parts did not assemble without drilling both flanges on the feed hopper side during assembly. Also the handle broke when I tightened it during assembly. And kill switch does not work properly as well. Other than those issues, it will chip a 2" branch and fingers real well, We burn the rest, so it works for us.
